6 I G I no I 14 o y n t :2 I; Q: mvH'roR u ATTORNEYS a, Fig. 2, to the outside of the end supports 6, until they rest against the upper ends of said supports and the end supports are swung inwardly about the end members of the frame 2 asindicated by arrows b in said figure, one outside of the other, and are folded against the rectangular frame 2.

The canopy shown in the drawing comprises a collapsible canopy frame supported on the thumb screws 8 and a canopy fabric covering said frame. The canopy frame comprises uprights 2%, the lower ends of which are provided with openings through which the thumb screws 8 are passed, the thumb screws preferably being threaded into the uprights. The upper ends ofthe up- ,rights are connected by a ridgepole 26, over which the canopy fabric 2'? is passed.

To the uprights 24 are secured cross bars 28, to'the ends of which the canopy fabric is attached. The ends of the cross bars are preferably bored to receive plugsof wood or similar material indicated at 30, and the can- .opy fabric is attached to theends of the cross-bars by nails or screws 32 driven into said plugs. Cross-bars 28, as shown, are engaged in recesses in the uprights 24: and are held in place by thumb screws 34, preferably threaded into both the uprights and the cross bars.

To enable the canopy to be more readily collapsed, the cross-bars 28 are preferably made in two parts, the inner end of one of which parts is provided with a tongue engaging in a slot in the inner end of the other part of the cross-baras shown clearly in Fig. i. The parts of each of the cross-bars are held together by the thumb screw 34:, which is preferably threaded through the uprights 2d and through the inner ends of the parts of the cross bar as shown in this figure.

The canopy may be removed from the crib stand by removing the thumb screws 8 from the end supports 6. Then, upon removing the thumb screws 34 from the cross bars 28, the .parts of the cross bars may be separated and the cross bars with the canopy fabric may then be folded substantially into the plane of the ridge pole 26 and the uprights 24:. y a 7 Having explainedthe nature and object of the invention, andhaving specifically described a device embodying the invention in its preferredjform, what is claimed is :U

.1. A baby crib having in combination a rectangular frame comprising side and end members, a web for supporting a mattress extending across said frame, end supports having crossbars and pivoted on the end members of said frame to swing into positions ad acent said frame, ad ustable means for securing the end supports from turning on said end members, brace rods pivoted on the cross bars of said end su )ports to swing nto positions ad acent saic supports for first frame and for detachably for securing the end supports from turning V on said end members, brace rods pivoted on the cross bars of said end supports to swing into positions adjacent said supports for holding the end supports in predetermined spaced relation, adjustable means for securing the brace rods from turning on said cross bars and means for detachably securing the ends of the brace rods together.

3. A baby :crib having in combination a frame, a web for supporting a mattressextending across said frame, end supports pivoted on said frame, a canopyframe, a canopy fabric secured to said canopy frame and common adjustable means for securing the end supports from turning relatively to said securing the canopy frame to the first frame.

4:. A baby crib having in combination a frame, a web for supportinga mattress eX-- tending across saidframe', supports pivoted on opposed members of said frame to swing into positions adjacent said frame, brace rods pivoted on said supports, adjustable means for securing said supports, from turning on said frame, adjustable means for securing said brace rods from turningv relatively to said. supports and means for detachably securing the ends of the brace rods together.

5. A baby crib. having. in combination a non-collapsible frame, a web for supporting a mattress extending across said frame, supports pivoted directly on to swing about opposed members of said frame into positions adjacent said frame and adjustable means for securing the supports rigidly to said opposed members.

6. A baby crib having in combination a supporting frame, a web for supporting a mattress extending across said frame, supports pivoted on opposed members of said frame to swing into positions adjacent said frame, ad ustable means for securing said supports rig dly to said opposed members,

brace rods pivoted on said supports and ad- 7 justable means for securing said brace rods rigidly to said supports.

7. A' baby crib having in combination a frame, amattress support carried by said frame, spaced supports pivoted to said frame upon axes substantially parallel with the plane of said frame to swing into positions ad acentthe plane of said frame, brace rods each pivoted at oneend to one of said spaced supports to swing into a' position adj acent to said support, and means for detachably securing the other ends of the brace rods in said frame, spaced supports having cross into said supports and engaging said bars to hold the supports from turning thereon,

bars, and respectively pivoted on opposite bars of said frame to swlng into positions adjacent to said frame, setscrews threaded brace rods pivoted on the cross bars of said v supports to swing into positions adjacent to said supports and set screws threaded into sald brace rods andengaglng sald cross bars to hold the brace rods from turning on said cross bars.

bars and means for detachably ends of the brace rods together baby crib having in combination a frame comprising longitudinalfand transverse bars, a mattress support carried bye-said frame, havlng" cross" bars and respectlvely spaced supports pivoted on opposit'e bars of i said frame to swing into positions adjacent: to said frame, set. screws threaded into said supports and engaging said bars to hold the;

supports from turning thereon, brace rod 30 pivoted on the cross'b'a'rs of saidsupports to swing into positions adjacent to said sup? ports, set screws threaded into said brace rods and engaging said cross. bars'to hold the brace rods from'turning on said cross securing the Signed at New York city, this 10th day of August, 1920.
